CONCLUSION

The effect of the tension and linear mass density were determined as concluded by the
different sizes, and linear mass density of the string. According to the data, the tension is
directly proportional to frequency while linear mass density of the string is inversely
proportional to the frequency. The number of segments and the theory of tension were proved
by observing the number of segments formed per trials as the tension increase. Therefor,
tension is inversely proportional to segments. Thus conditions must be noted for the data to be
valid from the string vibrator to super pulley. All in all, the experiment was a success and
objectives were met.
The way material vibrates under given condition is an important aspect of design of civil
structures or mechanical equipment. Historically unexpected failures of bridges and columns

have happened because designers did not consider effect of vibration. If a house is exposed to
vibration, it presents issues like; structural damage caused by the wall moving in and out of its
at-rest position. The effect of vibration on a building is best demonstrated by a mass-spring
damper system as seen below.

Input signals from heavy traffic or construction travel through the ground to the building.
The foundation of the house, and the ground surrounding them, act as a series of springs and
damper, mitigating transmission of vibration at some frequencies, and increasing it at others.
Building vibrations occur most prominently around lower frequencies (typically below 300Hz),
which is because of the nature of the admissibility of the soil and foundations of the building,
as well as typical vibration input characteristics from construction, traffic and rail networks.
